It’s been 15 years since Wake Up Sid was released in theatres. When BTS pictures from a recent shoot with Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sensharma emerged online a few days ago, many fans thought something was cooking. A sequel to the Ayan Mukerji film? Unfortunately, that was not in the cards.
The two stars reprised their roles from the film for a brand new advertisement for the phone brand, OPPO.
Sid Wakes Up In Goa
Sid and Aisha, who have since relocated to Goa, appear at the beginning of the advertisement. Aisha presently turns out here for a magazine, and they live respectively. Ranbir’s personality Sid is occupied with finding every one of the bundles however the air conditioner isn’t working. According to he, “Ek toh Goa mein itni garmi upar se principal bhi itna hot (Goa is so hot these days yet so am I)!”
Konkona’s Aisha opens the veranda door, and says it will help for cross-ventilation. His friends Rishi and Laxmi are also here. While Laxmi has her eyes fixed on the basket of mangoes that Sid’s mother has sent, Rishi is busy soaking in the sun. Sid picks up the new phone and clicks pictures- like always- and the short ends there.
Fans Reacted On This Ad
Reacting to the new ad, fans commented that they want a full sequel! One said, “I cannot even begin to express how much I love this ad. Nostalgia. We need a sequel to this!!” Another fan wrote, “Why is this promo 3 hours long?” A comment read, “Omg!!! I had a smile on my face watching this. But we want a full film please. This is my most favourite beautiful yet simple film! Please make a sequel.” “Nostalgia hits like a train wreck,” read another comment.
